Pocket carry does no mean just put a gun in your pocket. There is a device called a “pocket holster” that protects the trigger guard and keeps this stuff from happening. Take a class, research best practices, carry right or don’t carry.
Some guns should never be pocket carried, holster or not. 1911 type actions and Glock actions are the worst offenders. I can’t count the number of times I have removed a 1911 from a proper holster and found the safety had been knocked off. A Sig 938 cocked and locked pocket carried in a holster is asking for a Darwin award.
More S&W J frames are pocket carried sans holster than in a holster as they aren’t needed. Something like a Kahr CM9 is every bit as safe, and will not go off like a glock or SAO action will.
Research is good for EVERYONE to do.
You are exactly right.
I carried in my pocket (when I was a newbee) and a wise friend kindly told me about pocket holsters.
I bought one for about $10 and it made the experience so much more secure and safe.
Glad the professor got a second chance to learn how to carry properly.
That would be a good class for all faculty and first semester students.
